New 20ft Shipping Containers for Sale
Unmarked 20ft containers for conversions and customer-facing sites.
A 20ft container fits down the side of most yards without special access arrangements, holds about 1,170 cubic feet, and weighs about 4,850 lb (2,200 kg) empty. A boom truck can place one in 60 feet of clear run, which is why it is the size most buyers settle on.
New units have never carried cargo. The paint is unmarked, the plywood floor is clean, and the doors seal on the first close. Worth the difference where the container will be seen, or where it is about to be cut about for a conversion.
Who buys this combination
New 20ft units go to buyers who have already decided on the size and are choosing on condition. If you are still weighing sizes, the size pages compare capacity and access side by side; if you are weighing grades, the condition pages explain what each one guarantees.
20ft dimensions
These are the ISO 668 figures for the size, which is why any container of this length stacks and locks with any other. Individual units vary in weight and finish.

Frequently asked questions
Why buy a new 20ft rather than a used one?
Two reasons. The container will be seen by customers, or it is about to be converted and cutting into clean steel costs less in labour than repairing a tired shell first.
Are new 20ft containers CSC plated?
Factory-new units carry a CSC plate with full validity, which matters if the container will ever be shipped or stacked loaded. Initial certification runs five years from the manufacture date, with re-inspection every 30 months thereafter.
Can I choose the color?
Stock arrives in the manufacturer color. A repaint to a specific shade is quoted separately and is usually a small part of the total on a new unit.
Is a new 20ft the same size as a used one?
Yes. ISO 668 fixes the external dimensions, which is why any 20ft stacks and locks with any other regardless of age or manufacturer.
Delivery
Delivery is quoted against the address and the access rather than the mileage, because what the truck can reach moves the price further than how far it travels. Give us the ZIP code and a description of the approach and we will confirm cost and timing.
